Though Florence has weakened to a tropical depression, it's still expected to bring continuing rain to the Carolinas, and authorities warn the danger is far from over.

"The flood danger from this storm is more immediate today than when it ... made landfall 24 hours ago," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said, CNN is reporting. "We face walls of water at our coasts, along our rivers, across our farmland, in our cities and in our towns."

Florence has killed at least 13 people.

And according to the National Weather Service at State College, the remnants of Florence will track across Pennsylvania late Monday and early Tuesday, bringing even more rain and threat of flooding to the water-logged region.

For today, though, a dense fog advisory is in effect for much of central Pennsylvania. That fog is expected to lift by 10 a.m., though, for what's shaping up to be a partly-sunny day with a high near 81.

Tonight will see increasing clouds and a low around 66.

On Monday, expect an 80 percent chance of rain during the day, mainly after 11 a.m.

As the remnants of Florence make their way towards us, that rain may include thunderstorms and possible heavy rains. Rainfall amounts Monday night and into Tuesday will average 1 to 2 inches across the region, however, heavy showers and thunderstorms Monday night could result in localized totals of 3 to 4 inches and potential flooding.

Tuesday will see a high of 80 and a low of 65.

We'll finally see a sunny day on Wednesday with a high of 80 and a low of 59.

Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high near 75 and a low of 62.

Friday will be mostly sunny with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms and a high of 83 and a low of 65.

And Saturday will be partly sunny with a high near 75 and a 30 percent chance of showers.
